The PRESS cannot agree with the Adyer-
tiser that law that says the mayor shall,
within six months after such vote, cause the
buildings upon said land to be removed at
the expense Of the city" means, as the Adj
vertiser says, shat the building shall be re-
moved at any time after six months, when
the site is wanted for the purpose con-
templated by the act" If that had been
meant it is fair to presume that
that would have been said. The
Advertiser is wrong when it says
the PRESS insists that the hall must
come down precisely six months after the
site is taken. What the PRESS insists is
that the laws says it must. Laws are fire.
quently violated and this one no doubt can
be. The PRESS criticized the law because it
neglected to take account of the possibility
that the Monument Association might not be
readystsbeg building in six months, and
commanded thing to be done which it
might prove wasteful to do. The fact that
this waste can be avoided by disregarding
the law does not cure the law.

Justice Walbridge Of Winnipeg, has de-
cided that alteration Of books does not con-
stitute the crime of forgery at common law,
and has therefore discharged Blackstone.
There can be little doubt of the correctness
OF this decision. Indeed und-r the statute
OF Maine on this subject whic.i is broader
than the common law, it is exceedingly doubt
full If man guilty of simply altering books
of account could be indicted for forgery
Therefore had Blackstone been extradlted
the chances are that he could not have been
convicted Of forgery here, and he must be
convicted Of forgery If Of anything for the
Supreme Court of the United States has de-
cided that an extradited culprit cannot be
tried for crime other than that on which
his extradition has been secured. Black
stone escapes the penitentiary which he
richly deserves, and therefore has some
reason to be jubiant, as the despatch reports
him. But his position is by no means an
enviable one. He cannot come back to the
United States without running the risk of
arrest and imprisonment, and in the country
where he is he has been branded as thief
by judicial tribunal

The Soldiers Monument Association has
in its treasury at the present time $4,000. 1t
is admitted that this is not enough to build q
monument suitable for the Market Square
site. As to the cost of suitable monument
there is diversity of opinion. Suppose it
will cost $4,000, which probably is too low
an estimate, $1S,500 would have TO be raised
before the monument could be completed.
The Advertiser says the money will be
forthcoming" 1t is reasonable inference
from the confidence with which the
Advertiser speaks that the Soldiers
Monument Association either has
the promise Of additional subscrip-
tons or has some definite plan for raising
the additional sum which the Advertiser be-
heyes will be successful While the Adyer-
Users judgment on this point is entitled to
great respect, still the public would like to
have the opportunity of Judging for them
selves, and inasmuch as they are asked to
contribute the site it is but fair that they
should. 1t would seem only proper there
fore for the Monument Association to ex-
plain how it expects to obtain the money
needed

great difference of opinion exists as to
the value of old town hall and the lot on
which it stands We believe its assessed val
is $4,000; but this by no means represents
its saleable value. Ii the property were for
sale it is safe to say that purchaser could
befound for it at from $4,000 TO $4,000. A
better criterion of its value 10 the City is the
fact that the present occupants of the lower
part of the building are ready to take lease
Of the whole property based on an annual
rental Of per cent. on $4,000.

II is to be hoped the report that the Agri-
cultural Committee is preparing stringent
law for the protection Of the cat may prove
true, though we must confess that the meas
ure outlined in our Augusta dispatches, goes
little too far and is too memorable. The
PRESS yields to no one in its admiration of
the cat, and to 1t belongs the credit of first
suggesting special enactment in her inter
est. But it strikes us the Agricultural COM
mittee has gone too far. One thousand dol
lars for cutting cat is excessive. There
may be very aggravated cases of cat cutting
where this will not be too high, but for the
ordinary case it is too much The law ought
to be SO framed as to give the Judge some
discretion. And it would be good idea to
specially provide that whom the offender is
young and his bad habit has not be-
come confirmed his name shall be placed
upon the special docket not to be brought
forward unless he repeats the offence. JUS
tice should be tempered with mercy.

The Volcano Under the City is a bit of the
history of New York city, which is probably
quite forgotten by the nation at large, and
yet at the time was alarmingly interesting.
1t is description, by one who was known as
Volunteer Special" of the great New
York Draft Riot Of 1868, in which more
than fourteen hundred men were killed. and
the mob contended for the mastery of the
city through four successive days and nights.
1t is surprising that no historian should have
been tempted before this by so striking an
episode; but the present writer has done his
work most thoroughly, and besides being an
eye witness. has searched through a vast
amount Of contemporary records, police tele-
grams and orders, military, &C.. from which
he has systematized and analysed an orderly
narrative, which should be read and pom
dered by every man in the land. 1t shows
clearly the power Of anarchists and dema-
gogues, and what an eruptive power is seeth-
ing under every large city in the land (New

If the State Prison committee can find
some new industries which can be success
fully introduced into the prison it is their
duty to introduce them. The ends to be at
tanned are the keeping of the prisoners at
work, the teaching them a useful trade by
which they can earn an honest living when
they are discharged, and the tightening of
the burdens of the tax payers. But in
selecting the trades to be taught the inter-
ests of the free laborers of the State should
be kept in view and such trades, and in such
diversity, chosen as will bear lightly on them.
